Experience the best of Valencia

Valencia is a Spanish Mediterranean city of beaches, orange groves, paella, a futuristic arts-and-sciences complex and a medieval silk exchange.

Valencia is Spain's third-largest city, set on a flat coastal plain. In the old town, La Lonja de la Seda, the Gothic silk exchange, is a UNESCO site, and the nearby Central Market is a great hall of iron and glass piled with produce. The cathedral holds a chalice venerated as the Holy Grail, and the Miguelete bell tower can be climbed for views over terracotta roofs.

The Turia river was diverted after a flood and its old bed is now a long park winding through the city to the City of Arts and Sciences, a white futuristic complex designed largely by Santiago Calatrava, with an aquarium, a science museum and an opera house. Beaches such as Malvarrosa have long promenades, and the Albufera lagoon south of the city has rice fields and boats at sunset. Sagunto's castle and Xàtiva's hilltop fortress are day trips.

Paella was born here, traditionally cooked with chicken, rabbit and flat green beans over orange wood, and the region's rice dishes are served at lunch. Horchata, a sweet milky drink made from tiger nuts, comes with fartons pastries. In March, the Fallas festival fills the streets with giant sculptures that are burnt on the final night. Winters are mild, summers hot and humid, and spring and autumn pleasant.
